Five NEXRAD Radar Sites Experiencing Public Dissemination Failures
What happened
Five NEXRAD sites are currently unable to disseminate data publicly due to technical failures. These sites include Mobile (KMOB), Eglin AFB (KEVX), Tallahassee (KTLH), Fort Rucker (KEOX), and Moody AFB (KVAX). While the radar sites are operational and NWS forecasters can view data internally, it is not flowing out to the public, TV stations, apps, or websites.

Why it matters
The radar system is critical for tracking severe weather events, including hurricanes and tornadoes. Without the public data flow, detection of rotation and debris signatures is delayed, impacting life-saving warnings during severe weather threats.
